Elecrow Raspberry Pi 5 Capacitive Touchscreen Interface - Portable HD Monitor, 8595698868 Review

I've been working on creating a display for my motorcycle using Raspberry Pi, Arduino and CAN bus data. I ordered this screen about a month ago (October 2019). It was packaged very well and had no defects as far as I could tell. I hooked it up to my Raspberry Pi 4 and it was clear and bright. Perfect for what I needed it for. Unfortunately, I noticed signs of deterioration already in the first few days. I left it in a fairly cold room. When I checked it the next day, the polarizing filter…

Comes with everything you need! I recommend buying a separate HDMI mono price and 3ft Micro-C to USB! Facilitates cable routing as needed. This works great, especially with Aida64! Highly recommended if you want to finish building your PC. We ended up with 5 inches and I think it's the perfect size. I used Gorilla double sided tape as I didn't want to drill holes in the case. When turning off there are no problems, it turns off with the computer.

Connecting it to your PI may cause screen resolution issues. The font and size are very small so you'll have to play around with the UI to make it work. I wouldn't advise beginners to buy it. It also doesn't come with a substrate, so it's just a straight LCD with a circuit board on the back. You need to 3D print or fabricate the case for this! otherwise it works great.

I love watching YouTube videos of people building computers and I came across this guy who put a mini LCD panel in his computer to control temperature and speed. He recommended this panel (5 inch, blue). So I took one. The included cables are short, so I recommend getting a 3-foot USB to Micro USB cable and a thin HDMI cable for the mono price. I pointed both at the back of the computer. Once the LCD was on, I set up the panel as a second monitor. The resolution is now 800x600 but I was having…

So I bought two of these monitors as I expected them to be low quality but after a week of using them and working 24/7 they worked great. I mainly use them to connect Windows 10 computers and they work pretty well and the touchscreen works out of the box too. The only downside to the monitor's size is that you can't use the touchscreen if you have such large fingers. The power is too low and not enough if you have a desktop as the cable is about 1ft long so the range is very short. To solve…

I'm currently using this for fun on a mini arcade machine. It was originally intended to be a mini monitor for my pc to run the specs and give me constant feedback but the installation process was a full blown pain easy to do but quite a bit of resistance everything works as said but the only thing what worries me is the quality, the resolution hurts my eyes (I wear glasses so this may be the reason, maybe different from others), the touchscreen seems to have a slow response time and there…

Did you manage to get Full HD with 1280x1024 resolution on it? Of course I had to increase the text size, but I will only use it as a computer case display mod. Here is a small example of a video in Full HD

I added this little monitor to my computer after watching some YouTube videos. Installation was pretty easy. I found the price reasonable.

I bought this and installed it in my Lian-Li Lancool 2 mesh case and I think it turned out great. The 3D printed frame can be downloaded from Thingiverse by searching for item 4826355. I also used this cable to power the screen directly from the motherboard: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072Q1MBSG/ref= ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s02 ? ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have not used this for raspberry pi. I installed it in my case to have an idea of the performance of my system when streaming. Very good bright screen. The touch function has not been tested. Did everything I wanted. If you're using it this way, you might want to disable it on startup if you're trying to do anything in your BIOS, as it looks like it wants to use that screen by default.

This product is amazing! It's literally plug and play. I am currently using it as another monitor for my computer and have had no trouble reading it. I didn't have to install any drivers at all, which saves a lot of time.

It's an amazing quality screen and it's pretty good quality. There's a barely noticeable greasy film on the screen, but that's not a bad thing. Initially I had issues with sending the wrong product a couple of times but I contacted the seller and he personally sent the correct product so I appreciate that. Overall this is a pretty good screen for PC stats and I would recommend it.

I bought it to use as a system information display in my computer. The included screws and coasters made the job very easy - I just hot glued the ends of the coasters together and applied to the surface. The display quality is better than I expected. Colors are accurate and smooth. However, I would like the display to turn off automatically when it's not receiving a video signal. Because the USB power cable is plugged into an external USB-A port, even when the system is in sleep mode, it…

The picture quality is crisp and the colors are great! Like a touchpad, it does the job! For myself, I used the HDMI cable that came with the screen. I ordered a USB-c > Micro-USB cable for power. USB-c is connected to IO and Micro-USB with shield.

I knew this 5 inch LCD was of high quality as soon as it came out of the box. I connected the keyboard and mouse with no problems.

Perfect for adding a small display to my PC case (Enthoo Evolv X) - Powered by a USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power supply or power supply. I used the micro USB connector to power directly from the motherboard. Works perfect.

I bought this to use as a small computer screen for my Raspberry Pi as that is what it was designed for and I was surprised at the quality that came with the small screen. I don't use the touchscreen part because I have a wireless keyboard and mouse, but when I used it briefly it worked as expected.

The screen is amazing, I used it to show the temperature in my case. It works as expected, would recommend if you're thinking of doing something like this.

Terrible product - connectors to connect are cheap and the device is randomly disassembled. Spend another $20 and get something that's no junk. be smarter than i was cheap.

Use it to make a touchpad for my computer. Works perfectly. I don't use a touchscreen but I know it works. Great for what I wanted to use it for.
